While waiting for some paints to arrive in the mail to continue my MiG-23 build project, I decided to do a very quick build of the Eduard L-39 in my stash. This kit is labeled as a "weekend" build, which might be a bit optimistic for me, but should still be a quick progress.

Clement
Great job on that cockpit.
Following with interest.

Łukasz Gliński
Me 2 👍 That cockpit is astonishing 😮

Harry Eder
Great start! I'll watching 3

Clement
Do you already have a plan for the shades you're going to use? I found the L-39 classic camouflage very hard to get right. I hope you'll have more luck with it.

Mr D
Looking good, cockpit green is 👍 nice.
Coming on good 👌

Łukasz Gliński
@Clement: I think I've seen these colours released lately by Mr.Paiint

For the Hungarian standard camo, MRP has released an entire set, consisting of MRP-351 Brown, MRP-352 Dark Green and MRP-353 Light Blue.

Yesterday I spent some time comparing the hue and tint of the MRP paints with my own mix of Tamiya acrylics (as described in photo 26 above), and found them to be absolutely identical. I also found the MRP paints much too smelly and aggressive and hard to adjust if you want to blend in slightly varying tones in panels etc. The Tamiyas can furthermore be used for extremely diluted thin filter applications, while the MRP are block solid.

Clement
Well done on those paints!
I agree with you, Tamiya paints spray great and don't smell nearly as nasty as MRP's.

I was missing this one.
Well done so far, Thomas! 👍

Great progress!👍🏻

Łukasz Gliński
I see you mixed too much of this colour and used it on the background 😋
Lovely preshading, sth I don't have enough patience for

István Szücs
Very nice build and paintwork!

Cuajete
Very nice painting job, Thomas. Looks fantastic so far 👍

I recently saw that Edward has released the transparent parts of this kit as "L-39 Revised Canopy":
L-39 Revised Canopy (Eduard 7040Y, 1:72)

Do you know what problem the original transparent parts have?

Guy Rump
Looking great 👍

Well done!

Very impressive! 👍

Yesterday the A.90 Orlyonok thundered in front, here are a couple of pictures of this event! 🙂 I added a few things to the kit, such as the prominent framework in front of the cockpit, which I built "on sight" with suitable wire. I haven't been able to find out what it's for - aerials, windscreen wipers/cleaning? - but I know that it contributes quite prominently to the appearance. I also added the various aerials on the fuselage and engine.
Thanks again for the hint about the 'ironed' water behind and under the engine, that was an important tip and came in time, thanks to Robert!

Robert Podkoński
Looks absolutely perfect, Roland! Chapeau bas! (I am happy that I have contributed a bit to this effect 😉 )

gorby
WOW! Fantastic display!

Neuling
WOW! Fantastic display! 2

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your appreciated comments - it is of course very motivating to receive such feedback!

Guy Rump
Excellent as usual! 👍

Guy Rump
Very nice build! 👍

Guy Rump
Good progress, following. 👍

CaptGPF
following another Markus special!

Robert Podkoński
Good job so far, Johan. Keep it up! (and do not mix the parts from both kits 😉

Nicolas
Good start. Following

Johan van Meerloo
awesome, its to compare the new and old revell kits

Guy Rump
Very nice job! 👍

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress. Your attention to detail will pay off.

Johan van Meerloo
Thank you! Will be hard with the old kit though.

Nicolas
I build both kits in the past. Intrested too see what you can do with it.

Johan van Meerloo
both are interesting, this one is total crap but will try to make the best of it

Robert Podkoński
Good job so far, Johan!

Johan van Meerloo
for the crap kit it is, its going on quite okay now with some colour on it at least, hopefully the cannopy wont ruin it all due to the bad kit

Skyhiker
I would have sanded those rivets off and reriveted both planes. But I can understand not doing that. Getting raised rivets to look good in silver is a real challenge.

Johan van Meerloo
too less quality for this kit

CaptGPF
Nowhere near my favorite tank, but beautifully built and painted with some slight weathering!

Doubtingmango
Nice work on a classic!

Filip
Thank you.

Guy Rump
Very nice work! 👍

Best representation of a seat I have seen, well done!

David Taylor
Watching.

Baptiste Souillart
The worn leather is impressive, great work!

Doubtingmango
Did you use tape for the leather effect? It looks fantastic!

Tony G
Thanks everyone!

David Taylor
Scorpion Miniature Models do a load of extra's for this kit Tony.

Tony G
Thanks David, I have the resin wheels and a new turret for the Op Grandby Ferret already.

Lost_Erik
Great interior seats!

Jakko ‌
Looking good. Just one small nitpick: with the superstructure you added instead of the turret, this is a Ferret Mk. 1/2, not a Mk. 2 🙂

Tony G
Hi Jakko, i believe the only difference between the Mk1 and Mk2 was the turret, as that is not being used here i think it should be just about there.

Jakko ‌
Exactly 🙂 With no turret but just an opening in the hull top, it's a Mk. 1, with a turret it's a Mk. 2, and with the stepped superstructure as you have here, it's called a Mk. 1/2. So the kit is correct when it says it's a Mk. 2, but because you replaced the turret, it's not a Mk. 2 anymore 🙂

Tony G
Understood .. I've changed the title. Thanks for the info!

Jakko ‌
Cool 🙂

David Taylor
As Jakko said MK1/2.Looks good.

David Taylor
Is the crew from Miniart Tony.

Great finish!
